Born one of five children in low-income Camden, New Jersey, Donovin grew up with a sense of purpose because of the sacrifices and determination he witnessed in his mother Roberta Darius.

Donovin had to struggle and persevere through many challenges to aspire to the level that some would believe to be impossible.

He has since risen from the gridiron of the NFL to winning a Sports Emmy Award. Donovin has went from being a community center participant to founding his own nonprofit organization in Jacksonville, FL.
